Why is the NBA No. 1 Popular Flag?

Flag is currently the biggest No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, no one! If the Mavericks choose him with the No. 1 pick at that time, there is no need to cause much trouble, because in people's minds, this is a natural thing to be sure; if the Mavericks choose him with the No. 1 pick at the No. 1 pick at the No. 1 pick at the No. 1 pick at the No. 1 pick at the No. 1 pick at the No. 1 pick at the Strongest, it will cause heated discussions, because this is not expected by people.

But is Flag really that strong? He actually has some shortcomings!

1. Flag's height is not as tall as 2.06 as previously reported. His physical height is 2.02 meters and his wingspan is 2.13 meters. After all, basketball is a long sports, and every inch is longer and stronger! Why do you become so powerful like Durant is because he is not only tall, but also has top outside control technology. It’s like a misplaced attack on anyone. At 2.11 meters, the dribbling breakthrough is better than the defender, and the shooting is more accurate than the defender. How can you defend this? If Flag could be taller, he would have a better advantage at around 2.06 meters. He could play multiple positions, or even reach the center position; but 2.02 meters, the operating space would be relatively smaller. If he makes a guest appearance in the fourth and fifth positions, the height of the basket protection is insufficient. If you face the inside player in dislocation, you will still suffer a little.

2. The position on the field may be inconsistent. The height of playing the fourth position is relatively short, and whether the technology and defense of playing the third position can meet the requirements are unknown. For example, Reddish was also very talented in the draft, but now he is like everyone else; like Bates, he became famous at a young age, but now he has become very mediocre. The NBA is not that easy to play! NCAA is NCAA, and NBA is NBA. Different intensity, different player level, different opponent level, different rhythm, and different rules. It also depends on the players' adaptability, adjustment ability, psychological quality, psychological stress resistance, etc.! There have been too many high-ranking "parallel" in NBA history.

3. The competition within the team is fierce! The Mavericks are not weak teams. The Mavericks are full of talents and all the members are healthy, and they are extremely competitive. There are Irving, Anthony Davis, Christie, Klay Thompson, and Dinwiddie. There is only one basketball, how to allocate the ball rights? Is it the main playing of Irving and Davis, Flagg, or what? If Flag is the main attacker, Irving and Anthony Davis will be supplemented, which will waste Irving and Anthony Davis' peaks. Whether they are willing or not will be a question; the Mavericks are strong teams, not weak teams, which is actually a lot of pressure for the growth of newcomers! Whether the ball rights arrangement is reasonable and whether the core players are satisfied are all issues that need to be solved.

4. The team's record is under great pressure! The Mavericks will collect the three No. 1 picks next season. They have not made it to the playoffs this year. They must make a difference next season, not only to compete in the playoffs, but even to compete in the championship! This will create a contradiction, whether we can give time to cultivate new people! The Mavericks are not weak teams. When you go to the Pistons, the team is in a mess. Cningham plays casually. If you play well or badly, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, there is no pressure on record, and you just need to train you. Everything is based on Cningham adapting to the NBA! You are facing similar problems this year, like the Rockets Show Shepard in 2024, but has not received key training, and their playing time and opportunities are quite limited! If Flag performs poorly and the Mavericks are pursuing a record, will the team focus on cultivating him? Give him so much ball rights and let him swing it casually? Or should we use people conservatively in order to pursue better results? If you make a slight mistake in the game and get replaced, or you dare not use inexperienced rookies in key games, this will have an impact on Flag.

5. Can you stay healthy! You are more athletic and excellent, but because of injury, you have not fully realized your talent. After playing for so long and not playing in the playoffs, the Pelicans gradually lose confidence in him. There is news that the Pelicans are interested in trading Zion! You are like Oden, who beat Durant to become the No. 1 pick, who is very talented, but he failed to realize his talent due to injury.

6. What is the ability to withstand pressure? If Flag became the top pick in the NBA as he wished, his every move would attract attention. If the fight is good, many people will compete to praise him. If the fight is bad, some people will complain about him wildly, which is inevitable. Some players fail to adjust their mentality due to excessive pressure, which has also affected their career performance. It is unknown whether Flag can adapt to this pressure.

These problems may also make him a "parallel product". I hope Flag can maintain a normal mind, keep himself relaxed, and not be arrogant when he wins and loses! Work hard to improve yourself, be prepared at all times, and face greater challenges.
